Jessi Jezewska Stevens’ debut novel received a rave review in the New York Times Book Review. The reviewer Haley Mlotek writes: “The novel has a romantic slowness, unfurling gracefully, little by little, to show how quickly the present gives way to the future, or concedes to the past.” The New York Times also published an excerpt from the book. Farrar, Straus & Giroux published the book on March 3, 2020.
